The Willsie Wedding May 21st, 2022 Haley & Conor’s #lovestory

Haley was a special Bride from the beginning. When she came into our shop, she was one of those Brides that stood out. She had a vision. She wanted to be this timeless, elegant Bride, in a dress she would cherish forever. Something we want every Bride to feel about their dress! When Hayley said “yes” to her dress, all our hearts skipped a beat because MY GOD was she going to be a gorgeous Bride. The gown she chose was & still is a shop fav. It's a special gown that stands the test of time. “Adrienne” by Pronovias was meant for Hayley & her vision she saw as a Bride! 

Many wonder what their wedding day will look like, and for Hayley & Conor they were so blessed with a picturesque, SUNNY, spring day at The Country Club Of Troy. Tucked away on a hilltop they found a special place to share their vows before they said their “I do’s”, with the stunning mountains of upstate New York as their backdrop! (*gasp) If there is one word that continually comes to mind when looking at Haley & Connors wedding day…joy. You can see the tangible joy in the air that day. We couldn’t be happier for these two, and the most beautiful wedding day they share with so many loved ones!

Cheers , Haley& Conor 

How We Met:

Conor and I met in middle school where we became best friends! When we were in 8th grade, we became closer and started having feelings for each other. At the 8th grade formal dance, Conor asked me to be his girlfriend and that is exactly when our relationship began! Now we have been together for 9 total years

The Proposal:

On our 8-year dating anniversary, Conor and I went out to a nice dinner and came home to watch the sunset.  As we went to the top of our property, Conor got down on one knee and proposed. It was exceptional due to the fact that it was our special day, we knew that once we graduated college we wanted to get married and start our lives together. 

 

Little did we know, behind the scenes, Conor had my perfect ring since February, and was waiting for the perfect time to propose!



Fav Moments From The Wedding:

There were so many incredible moments leading up to the wedding. 

The week before the wedding, Conor and I took a lot of time together to really soak in that our dream day was finally about to be here. We had an incredible rehearsal dinner with our friends and family the night before. On our wedding day, some of my favorite moments were our private first look, our private vows, the first dance, and our rehearsal full of dancing and fun. We chose to do a private first look with our private vows because it was really a day that Conor and I had been waiting for, for many years. It was finally our turn to share our love and celebrate with all of our close friends and family. Conor was shocked, in the best way possible for our first look. He was obsessed with my dress and never had seen anything like it before. He told me it was absolutely perfect and I was stunning. Our vows were very personal and emotional. Our first dance to John Legends’ “All of Me.” It was so special because it felt so real that everybody was here for us, we were finally one whole family. After dinner, we had an incredible time dancing to our favorite music with our closest friends and family. 

 

Another favorite moment was when I did the first look with my bridesmaids. Because my dress was so special, I kept it a secret from everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY! The moment I put on my dress, walked down the spiral staircase, and waited for them to turn around was extremely exciting. As soon as they turned around and saw my dress, some started crying, they ran up to me and gave me a hug and were obsessed with the beautiful Pronovias Adrienne Gown.
